Bollywood star Shahrukh Khan will be honoured with the title of Datuk by the Malaysian government.

Sharrukh is expected to be dressed in traditional Malaysian dress of lack costume with a waistband, a songkok and a black cap to receive the award from the Malaccan royal chief Yang di-Pertua Negri Tun Mohd Khalil Yaakob.
